We would like to inform you that from now on all Catan Events from the recently relaunched Mayfair Games website will be incorporated into a seperate page on Catan.com automatically.
Until now, we had to manually copy and paste the events, with the immanent risk of getting “out of sync” as soon as there were made additions or corrections to existing events.
From now on, any new event or event detail will be available on Catan.com almost instantly.

Klaus Teuber has been interviewed by the French internet game magazine “Tric Trac” during the Festival International des Jeux in Cannes - while being synchronously translated from French to English and back by Sophie Gravel.
Klaus speaks about the relaunch of the Catan board-game (3rd German Edition) and the Catan card-game, about being in love with his job, about other games he likes or which ones he would even liked to have invented by himself - and as well about the development of the German game market.

On Monday, February 22, we launched our completely revised PlayCatan website, now separating the English pages at www.playcatan.com from the German ones at www.playcatan.de.
